If you want to see if Find My iPhone (and Activation Lock) is enabled, head to Settings > [Your Name] > iCloud > Find My iPhone, or log in to icloud.com/find to see your device’s current location.

While people most often encounter issues with Activation Lock on used iPhones, the feature is also on iPads and Apple Watch. Just like it does on iPhones, Activation Lock locks an iPad or Apple Watch to the Apple ID used to set it up.


How to remove Activation Lock

  1. Go to www.iCloud.com/find.
  2. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
  3. At the top, click All Devices.
  4. Select the device that you want to remove from iCloud.
  5. Click Remove from Account.


or, you can watch this video. I think this video will you better.



Hope my answer will help you!
